NEW York, Nov. 19.-Among the Law
students who applied before the gener
term of the Supreme Court yester day TO-
admission to the bar was Gilman
graduate of Yale College named Hong
Yen Chan. All were admitted except
him, though he passed the examination
and procured special act of the Legislat-
ure authorizing the court to admit him.
Judge Van Brunt said the act was not
constitutional, and as he did not consider
Chan citizen, he would not vote to adj
init him. Judge Brady, it is understood,
took a contrary view as to the. scope and
application Of the Chinese Expulsion
act.

Governor Marmaduke Explains the Stat
Funding Scheme-HIissouri in a Pros
porous Condition and Her Credit Good.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. Ex-Governor John 8
Marmaduke arrived in the city yesterda,
morning accompanied by Mr.. Yantis, hi
private secretary. The Governor spen
the day seeing the sights and in the even
ing was encountered by reporter at tn,
Southern. The Governor is at present full
of the question of funding the State debt
He is justly proud Of Missouri aud he
greatresources and believes that the bond
of Missouri should be as eagerly sough
by capitalists as the bonds of the United
States. In answer to question as to tn,
outlook for the sale of the funding bond
on the 23d inst, the Governor said:
"The Fund Commissioners do not dea
with the purchasers of these bonds, ex
cept through advertisement of what they
have for sale, and at the designated tim,
examining or rejecting the offers made by
such purchasers. We do not, therefore
know what will be offered until we oper
the bids. However, in view of certain
facts true of our bonds, and of the secret
history of the sales of these bonds, my
own opinion is that our bonds will bring /;
high price,"
"What are those facts and the history
to which you refer"
AFTER the sale to be made on the 23d
inst, and including the s., 637, 900 of bonds
to be sold that day, the bonded debt o.
Missouri will be 1924, Ooo."
"When do these bonds mature, Gov
ernor?"

permitted the reporter to copy the follow

''Under the act of 1885," said the
Governor, continuing, "our funding op.
erations cease with the issue on the 23c
inst, and from the table I have just given
you it is manifest that there will be nc
further occasion for continuing these
funding operations, for the reason that
even after Monday the levy for the inter.
est fund from twenty cents to fifteen
cents ON the hundred dollars, the revenues
thus divided will fully pay the whole in.
terest and the maturing bonds.
Our material wealth is not far from s.,
100000 By the Constitution of the
State, adopted in 1915, and faithfully ad-
hered to by the whole people, it is
obligatory upon the General Assembly tc
make provisions for the payment of the
annual interest on our public debt, and e
certain portion of the principal before ar
appropriation of money can be made for
the salaries of myself or of it's members
OF for any other purpose whatever. Gu
people are prosperous and contented.
There has been no manifestation of the
pres once of any considerable vicious CT
disturbing element in our population.
Our constitutional provisions and the alb
solute freedom from dissatisfaction
on the part of the taxpayers OF
the State make the legislative ap-
preparations necessary for the prompt
payment OF principal and interest of our
bonds even more certain than the acts of
Congress in regard to the Federal bonds.
"Our funding bonds bear 1-2 per cent.
interest, which makes them a desirable
investment for a large class of Easter
capitalists, and am sure that they vii
bring good price, because they are a
very valuable and stable property.
The history of out funding operation
under the act of 1885 plainly points in the
same direction"
Here the Governor again referred tc
his notebook, and gave the following
statement:

The KeyhOle Was Missing.

The night air was somewhat loaded
with his hiccoughs as he struggled home
by daylight up the steep sides OF Suffer
Street. The cars had commenced run
ming, but he weuld not take one. He
knew that he had missed the last car
long ago, and he could not understand
that yesterday was over and to-day had
come. To him no cars ran after IL. 40
o'clock, and it had been Il. 40 o'clock for
hours. These must be some other cars.
He was surprised to meet good MANY
people coming down town, and in irving
to puzzle out what was up he gradually
reached home. A stray policeman who
had been left out all night heard a re
volver shot, and in defiance of danger
ran. He found the inebriated gentle
man firing through his own door.
Hello! What are you. doing?"
That's all right. You let me alone. "
What are you shooting at?"
Darn it, can't you seer l can't find

REGRETTABLE.


In another column # THE HERALD a
faction of the late employees of the u.
G. NJ. l. shoe factory are given a hear
ing. These men are on a strike. 1t
reads strangely enough that there is a
labor strike in th5s city, and more
strangely when it is reflected that the
strikers are Mormons and the institu-
ton fo- which they have been working
is purely Mormon concern. Not half
a dozen labor strikes have ever occurred
IN the Territory, and SNAIL and insig-
nificgnt as this affair is Git involves
but twenty five men) it is the largest if
not the only strike by Mormons. 1t is
70 be regretted for several reasons, but
chiefly on account Of the men them
selves. We cannot help thinking thew
have been hastY and net duly con
siderate in their action. This is i'm
pressed upon US by the fact that they
did not even try the proposed new ar
rangement, to see whether or not it
would be oppressive. The HERALD
IS familiar enough with the shoe
factory to know that it has been
operated less for the purpose of making
money Tor the institution than for pro-
Viding eaployment,for people. We also
know that the aim las been to furnish
labor -1r as many people as possible,
without running the factory ct loss;
and that with this object in view, labor
saving machinery has not been put in
when 1t might have been and with fin
anclal advantage to the concern. More
men and less machinery has been the
rule which has been followed when it
would not involve a loss. The strikers
certainly err in their manifest effort to
reflect on Manager Rowe, and make it
appear that he is hard-hearted and
grinding. The gentleman has for long
years been an employer in this city, and
his reputation for justice and considera-
ton for his employees is widespread as
the esteem in which he is held by those
who work under him is proverbiaI.
THE HERALD regrets this little dis
pute and disagreement, because tie
quarrel interferes with one of the
proud boasts OF the people Of his Terri
tory, and because only ilI-feeling and
hurtful influence can come from it.
We regret that the matter has gone as
faf as it has, and sincerely hope the
trouble viii be healed at once. We |
know Htte of The merits of the case,
but we know that if Mr.. Rowe and z.
c. NJ. 1. are in the wong, trey will not
continue Sc when it shall be pointed /
ont to them.

In THE HERALD this morning appears
a communication signed Justice, -
which wassfrst published in the Boston
Traveller. The writer has evidently
carefully studied the infamous Tucker
bill, and made himself familiar with its
enormities; and he has wisdom and
foresight to discover the danger in such
legislation. The attention of our
readers, and especially OF the Loyal
Leaguers, is directed to the communi-
cation.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1887-02-06
he REPORTS.

Mr.. Governor West gives few grain
of consolation and comfort to the sor.
rowing Loyal Lesguers, one of whom
he Is which, presumably. Like all re-
turning lobbyists and LeagUers, he says
she Edmunds-Tucker bill is certain to
pass, its passage being only matter of
days. This is exc -uragipg, and prompts
the poor dupes who are being bled to
pay the lobbying expenses of West and
his pals, to give up more cheerfully. HIS
ExceHency being the latest arrival from
the front, an coming at time of deep
gloom and discomfort, goes a little
farther than his fellows, and says that
not only will the two houses sgree to
the bill, but the President will certainly
approve it.
Now, we like TO hear the Governor talk
Il this manner. 1t cheers the Leaguers,
ana at the game time proves that His
Excellency knows no more concerning
the fate OF the bill than any other man
who knows nothing wAteve. about it,
President Cleveland is the man who is
going to tell the Governor what he is
going to do in regard to a measure
which may never reach him. That
seems 10 be the kind Of a man Cleve-
land is, doesn't it? When West comes
TO reflect upon what he has been saying
concerning Cleveland, WON'T he feel
that in his effort so cheer the Leaguers

WHAT Is PERSECUTION?

We recently endeayored to show
with what degree of success our readers
may best judge, that the position as
sumed by the Utah courts in making
citizenship and admission to the bal
depend upon the. acceptance of the
obsolete and despotic doctrine Of IN
constitutional passive obedience, is OPP
posed alike to American and univer-
sal precedent, and to the genius of re
publican insti utions. This rule, which
we do not hesitate to pronounce as in
famous, is open to the further objection
thati5 Is palpable persecution.
The distinction, says Macanlay, be-
tween what is and what is not persecu
ton is perfectly obvious.
ITO punish q man, he writes, be
cause he has committed a crime, or
because he is believed, though IN
justly, to have committed crime, is
not persecution. To punish a man be-
cause.we infer from the nature of some
doctrine which he holds, or from the
conduct of other persons who hold the
some doctrines with him, that he will
commit crime, is persecution, and is ,
in every case foolish and wicked" 1t
is pointed out by that eminent writer.
that the distinction is to be preserved
regardless of the logical tendencies of
the obnoxious belief. There are, he
says, two enormous gaps in the reason
ing by which penalties for opinion
may be defended; men who agree
about premises often disagree
about conclusions, and no man
in the world. acts up to his own
standard of right-"Man, in short, is so
inconsistent creature that it is impos-
siblei to reason from his belief to his
conduct, or from one part of his belief
to another" If the Mormon is to be
refused the substantial privileges of
citizenship and admission to the bar.
because he entertains a belief, which
appears conclusiyely to require him to
violate the law, and the entertaining of
which has led others to violate it, Won
erase at once the distinction between
action and belief, rendering person as
liable to penalty for one as for the other.

rule without exception, for prosecutors

IT WILL be remembered that before
presenting his substitute to the House,
Tucker submitted all his amendments
to Edmunds, who accepted them. and
assured the friends of the bill that be
would take care of the measure in the

man in Washington who ought to know
whereof he speaks, contains this clause
Judge Edmunds is not in favor of the

allow Tucker or anybody else to make
bills for him." Perhaps there has been
nervousness" in this matter, as in
